And yet, he was still accepted, despite that he was selfish and most of the time didn't give much care about the forest or nature. The people around him trying to advise him seems more kind about the Na'Vi and Pandora than himself.

Were we watching the same film? Not everyone in the army was portrayed as cold hearted; the woman left ! I'm guessing you, or someone close to you is in the Army, that's why something like that "upset" you. It's not something new for a room full of armed forces talking to be cheering at the idea of killing and defeating an enemy.
Nope, never known anyone in the army. The woman leaving gave me a sexist vibe, tbh. She was the only woman in combat if I remember correctly. It was like they were saying men are for combat, and women are for showing compassion. But that's just imo.
Other than the woman, there was no one who cared for the Na'Vi, unless they were side character, and in that case they didn't make any sort of impact and didn't show up much in the movie.

To be honest, I'm pretty shocked you thought there was no variety to the world. The variety and imagination expressed in the film was one of the things I liked about the movie... Maybe it's because I, myself have no imagination, but gosh, I'm still surprised, lol.
Examples?
I gave examples of lack of variety, and I've yet to see any examples proving variety outside of landscapes.
